Recognition in a Strategic Sector: Cybersecurity & Networks

At AlpacaX, we’re rethinking how infrastructure is secured and automated through Alpacon, our browser-based DevSecOps platform for modern distributed environments. Being chosen for Deep Tech TIPS, a competitive program led by South Korea’s Ministry of SMEs and Startups, acknowledges our progress in one of the nation’s top ten “Super-Gap” industries.

These strategic sectors—from AI and semiconductors to bio/health, aerospace, and cybersecurity—represent areas where South Korea aims to close global technology gaps and drive next-generation innovation. AlpacaX was selected in the Cybersecurity and Networks category.

Up to $1.1M in Matched R&D Support

Through the program, we’re eligible for up to $1.1 million in matched R&D funding. This support will help us accelerate innovation in infrastructure security—focusing on making Alpacon an intelligent, resilient platform that simplifies complex operations while keeping security airtight.

Unlike traditional tools that depend on agents or heavy integration work, Alpacon connects directly to existing servers with minimal setup. Its lightweight design reduces overhead while providing real-time detection and automated blocking of abnormal command behaviors—delivering enterprise-grade security without friction.

We believe the future of cybersecurity isn’t just about protection. It’s about making security operable, scalable, and invisible—empowering real teams to move fast with confidence. That’s the principle driving Alpacon and what sets us apart within Deep Tech TIPS’ Cybersecurity and Networks field.

More Than Funding: A Launchpad for Global Growth

Deep Tech TIPS offers more than funding—it’s a strategic launchpad that provides access to expert mentors, R&D partners, and global networks. With this support, we’ll continue refining Alpacon based on real-world feedback, aligning with international security standards, and further scaling our presence across global markets.

This milestone gives us fresh momentum as we build toward our next chapter—shaping Alpacon into a trusted, scalable platform that redefines how infrastructure security works at scale.
